Hello,

I have found that sage finds a non-zero intersection between polygons when 
they are parallel but non-intersecting. A reproducible example:
```
# Define parallel polygons.
a = Polyhedron([[0, -1, 1], [1, -1, 1], [1, 1, -1]])
b = Polyhedron([[0.0, -0.5, 1.5], [1.0, -0.5, 1.5], [1.0, 1.5, -0.5]])

# Intersection.
c = a.intersection(b)

# c -> 
# `A 2-dimensional polyhedron in RDF^3 defined as the convex hull of 3
# vertices (use the .plot() method to plot)`

a.plot(fill='green') + b.plot(fill='red') + c.plot(fill='orange')
```

However, when the polygons are made non-parallel the correct answer (zero 
intersection) is found.

```
# Define parallel polygons.
a = Polyhedron([[0, -1, 1], [1, -1, 1], [1, 1, -1]])
b = Polyhedron([[0.0, -0.15, 1.5], [1.0, -0.5, 1.5], [1.0, 1.5, -0.5]])

# Intersection.
c = a.intersection(b)

# c -> 
# `The empty polyhedron in RDF^3 (use the .plot() method to plot)

a.plot(fill='green') + b.plot(fill='red') + c.plot(fill='orange')
```
